Just looked at the article on the Fort Hood shooting. This part was interesting:
Quote:
According to pretrial testimony, Hasan entered the Guns Galore store in Killeen on July 31, 2009, and purchased the FN Five-seven semi-automatic pistol that he was to use in the attack at Fort Hood.[10] According to Army Specialist William Gilbert, a regular customer at the store, Hasan entered the store and abruptly asked for "the most technologically advanced weapon on the market and the one with the highest magazine capacity."[10] Hasan was allegedly asked how he intended to use the weapon, but didn't give a straight answer, insisting that he simply wanted the most advanced handgun with the largest magazine capacity.[10] The three individuals conversing with Hasan—Gilbert, the store manager, and an employee—all agreed upon the FN Five-seven pistol.[11] Gilbert, who personally owned one of the pistols, spent nearly an hour describing it to Hasan, explaining that the gun was extremely lightweight and accurate, and telling him that the bullets it fires cause severe damage on impact.[12]
They gave him bad advice. You can get Glock 9mm magazines with 33 round capacity (which is what the Gabby Giffords shooter used). The FN only has a 30 round capacity.
FN does make a bullpup rifle that uses the same cartridge as the Five-Seven: the PS90.

You can get 50 round mags for the PS50.
